Resum

Congenital pulmonary airway malformation, previously known as pulmonary cystic adenomatoid malformation, is a rare episode characterized by the formation of cysts of varying size and distribution during embryogenesis that replace normal pulmonary parenchyma1. An annual incidence of 56 cases per 100,000 live newborns is calculated2. Although most cases are asymptomatic at childbirth, the airway might get involved, hence the importance of early diagnosis through prenatal ultrasound as to anticipate the evolution and plan the of child birth and subsequent care of the newborn can be organized. In this paper, a bibliographic review of this pulmonary malformation is carried out as a result of an early diagnosed case in our hospital. This is a 30 week preterm newborn in which an image consistent with type 1 pulmonary airway malformation in the right lung was observed on selective ultrasound.
